Spring Wind

LUND--A strong wind blew yesterday, shaking tree limbs, rattling signs, tearing dead leaves from their hold and sending them swirling along in rattling brown clouds. The sun shown and the wind, though hard, felt friendly, necessary, like it was blowing winter from Norden. In the grass, amongst the still bare trees, nature's first signs had appeared: small white and yellow and now purple flowers, telling the world that warmth would, at least this time, return again to the land.
